Summary
This resolution expresses support for the designation of June 2025 as "National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Month" and June 27, 2025 , as "National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Day." The primary goal of these designations is to raise public awareness about post-traumatic stress, reduce the associated stigma, and support resilience among those affected. It acknowledges that many post-traumatic stress responses remain unreported, undiagnosed, and untreated due to a lack of awareness and persistent stigma, which can lead to severe consequences if left unaddressed. Beyond the designations, the resolution supports efforts by the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, and the broader medical community to educate the public, service members, veterans, and their families about the causes, symptoms, and treatment of post-traumatic stress. It encourages fostering cultural change around this issue, recognizing that personal interactions can save lives and advance treatment. Furthermore, it urges Armed Forces leadership to support appropriate treatment for those suffering and acknowledges the significant impact of post-traumatic stress on the spouses and families of service members and veterans.
